Biography

It's time for the pictures to be taken for the 2009 Thunderclap, and Sue convinces Principal Figgins that Glee Club shouldn't have a photo. The Glee Club hold a meeting to look at past Thunderclaps, and after seeing how horrific the vandalism is on the glee club photos decide to not to fight the ruling. Will however decides to fight and writes a $325 check for a quarter page of advertisement space, which will allow space for two club members' photos.

Rachel isn't unnerved by the vandalism, and goes to look at the 2008 Thunderclap where she appears in nearly all of the club photos. Also in the library are Santana and Brittany who vandalize the Mock United Nations Club photo. Quinn watches them and after reflecting over the previous years' Cheerios photos with her front and center as captain, makes up her mind to be in the 2009 Thunderclap Cheerios photo. Quinn goes to Sue and blackmails Sue into giving the Glee Club one of the Cheerios' six pages. Sue reluctantly agrees.

The photos for the Thunderclap are taken by Dennis Halberstadt, who photographs Rachel, Will, Sue, Emma, Ken, and eventually the entire glee club.

Will writes in Finn's yearbook ("Dear Finn, great knowing you, Will Schuester") and Finn is a bit taken aback by the lack of emotion, Will admits he couldn't write an emotional message without falling apart.
